Introduction

This list contains the Plugins and Addons for MythTV developed by the community. This means they are not included within the official release. Some of them are really great, bringing a whole new dimension to your system and definitly worth to take a look at.

Frontend Plugins

Subscribe to and watch video podcasts. Mythnettv allows you to set up subscriptions to your favorite podcasts, webtv, movie trailers, etc (anything on the web with an address can be used). It will look at the specified address(s) and find all the video content associated with the tile supplied in the subscription, it will then download all videos and add them to the mythtv recorded tv page on your frontend together with a description of the show and the date that the show was added to the web.

MythSimpleVideos is a plugin which provides a very simple live file browser, without MythVideo's need for a full tree. It is intended as a workaround for poor performance in MythVideo's File Browse mode when used with large CIFS shares.

MythWeb Addons

MythMobile is a MythWeb plugin that turns your iPad, iPhone, Android, or Windows Phone 7 device into the most advanced remote control for the Linux based open source MythTV DVR system. Includes custom themes, cover browsing, controls and many other features.

View a summary of almost every TV show ever aired along with a listing of each episode including original airdate, episode number, and episode summary. Mythepisode will indicate if you have previously recorded or have episodes scheduled for recording and allow you to set if for recording when available.

General Addons

Generate/grab a list of the hundreds of top movies you wish to see someday, and arrange for them to be recorded if they are ever on TV. Instead of browsing what movies are on in the next 2 weeks, just pick all your movies at once, and eventually they'll show up. Look for and record the pilot episodes of hundreds of the top TV series of all time, in case you missed them, or want to try them out. And a lot more.... There is a report, [1] that this works for 0.23.

This bash script for MythVideo re-purposes the trailers’ folder and synchronizes the 40 most popular movie trailers on YouTube, with selectable video formats. This allows users to watch a random sampling of new and popular trailers whenever movie viewing begins.

MythMediaMonitor is an advanced bash shell script designed to incorporate external media directly into the recordings screen of Mythfrontend. It includes many features, including auto extraction of MKV subtitles to SRT for playing in MythTV’s internal player, TVRage data grabbing, many filename formats, and support for Movies.

MythExport is a script that can be added to MythTV as a User Job and used to export recordings into a format playable on portable devices such as iPod Video, iPod Touch, and PSP. Besides converting your recordings, this script also grabs data from the MythTV MySQL database and injects it as iTunes data into the exported video so that it will show up correctly on your iPod. Now includes RSS feed and daily cleanup functionality.

A command line wrapper for mythvideo's tmdb.pl. This tool can be run interactively or from cron to import new videos and populate them with posters, fanart, and meta data where available. This tool is built into MythDora5 and later. The tool has been using tmdb.pl since imdb.pl was replaced in the mythvideo baseline.

Converts MythTV nuv files to mkv, mp4 or avi files. Can be run as a MythTV User Job or at command line to convert MythTV recordings or stand alone files. The converted recordings can either replace the nuv one or be copied to another location. If this other location is under the MythVideoDir, tmdb will be searched, a MythVideo db entry created and a coverfile file created if one was not available at tmdb.

Display the status of a local or remote MythTV backend. Can send an email if there is a recording conflict (soon to be extended to other issues). If installing the Debian package then your MOTD will be updated on a regular basis.

TiVo style recommendation engine for MythTV. MythMagic selects and automatically records shows from the EPG based on previous viewing habits. Recordings can be accepted or rejected to improve recommendation accuracy. Works silently in the background. Records at very low priority to avoid interfering with your own recordings.

Recommendation process using text mining techniques with the open source data mining software "RapidMiner". You can receive daily recommendations based on the programs you did and didn't record from MythMiner. It can schedule recordings with low priority if the confidence is high enough, but this can be deactivated, so that there is no write access to your database. Not yet tested with 0.25pre, please fill in if it works.

A graphical utility written in Java to search recordings, see details of recordings, copy single and batches of recordings, and other features for remote access to recorded programs. This should work on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

PHP5 application that monitors live events that are being recorded and will auto-extend recordings when it's determined the live event is running late. Written with live sports events in mind (NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA support included), but not limited to just sports. Requires Myth 0.19+.

The new MythRecipe provides both a plugin and web based recipe interface for Myth TV. Please generated bug reports and enhancement requests using this Trac system for any bugs and/or features requested.

Live transcoding and streaming of MythTV recordings over the network. This is a patched version which works with the new MythWeb. The original version can be found at sourceforge here, but it hasn't worked since MythTV 0.18. For this you have to use the patched version found under the first link. NOTE: There are issues to resolve even with the latest patch from "jogibear9988". With a little time, these can be resolved. One of the issues is that some language strings are missing (Example: "modules/_shared/lang/English.lang"). Please run the script "build_translation.pl". A couple other issues exist, but they are simple to resolve. With a little time, the system can even be modified to stream live TV. It works well.

A collection of DirectShow filters and applications that enables playback of MythTV files on windows. Allows any directshow compliant media player to handle recordings and livetv. See also Play Recordings On Windows From MythWeb

MythHelper is a Windows application which has been created to aid in the process of transcoding recordings from a MythTV machine. Currently MythHelper will aid in transcoding to both Xvid AVI and DVD MPEG-2 files.
